Abstract: L'invention concerne un corps de filtre à fluide, en particulier d un filtre à air, comportant un élément filtrant cylindrique (2) qui présente un disque terminal (3) sur au moins une de ses extrémités axiales. Ce disque terminal comporte un joint (9) à effet radial destiné à être disposé radialement par rapport au dispositif sur une surface de jointure (10) lorsque le corps de filtre est monté dans un boîtier de filtre. Ce disque terminal (3) comporte par ailleurs des moyens d'appui (6), qui, par rapport à l'élément filtrant (2), s'étendent de manière annulaire sur le côté axialement extérieur du disque terminal (3) et sont conçus de manière axialement élastique. Lorsque le corps de filtre est monté dans un boîtier de filtre, ces moyens d'appui reposent sur un contour d'appui (11) formé sur le boîtier de filtre et s'étendant parallèlement au disque terminal (3), ceci permet de positionner le corps de filtre axialement dans le boîtier de filtre. Pour une fabrication économique du corps de filtre, ces moyens d'appui présentent un col annulaire (6) distant du disque terminal (3), orienté axialement vers l'extérieur par rapport à l'élément filtrant (2). Une section axiale (15) de ce col annulaire est conçue de manière axialement élastique et, lorsque le corps de filtre est monté dans un boîtier de filtre, le col annulaire repose axialement sur le contour d'appui (11), le col annulaire (6) et le disque terminal (3) se présentant sous la forme d'une unité monobloc en matière plastique moulée par injection.

Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to ultrasonic surgical clamping instruments and, more particularly, to a multi-functional curved shears blade for an ultrasonic surgical clamping instrument (120). Disclosed is an ultrasonic surgical instrument that combines end effector geometry to best affect the multiple functions of a shears type configuration. The shape of the blade is characterized by a radius cut to form a curved, and potentially tapered geometry. This cut creates a curved surface including a concave surface (53), and a convex surface (57). The convex surface transitions into a short, straight, flat surface. The length of this straight portion affects, in part, the acoustic balancing of the transverse motion induced by the curved shape. Relative to straight blade tips, the tip curvature of the present design provides improved visibility of the transection site and improved access to targeted tissues.

Abstract: The invention relates to a detector for scattered light, especially for detecting particles in a carrier medium. Said detector comprises a housing (1) and an inlet (3) and an outlet (5) in the housing (1). The carrier medium flows through the housing between said inlet and outlet and on a flow path (7). The inventive detector also comprises a light source (9) that directs light to a scattered light centre (11) which lies on the flow path (7). The inventive detector further comprises a receiver (13) for a portion of the light which is scattered onto particles in the scattered light centre (15) and a light trap (15) for light which is not scattered in the scattered light centre (11). The aim of the invention is to improve such a detector for scattered light in such a way that compact construction and high responsiveness are guaranteed. The light trap (15) can be embodied in two ways. According to a first embodiment, the light source (9) is arranged outside the flow path (7) and the centre axis (18) of the light cone (20) pertaining to the light source (9) extends at least partially parallel in relation to or on the centre line (58) of the flow path (7). The light trap (15) allocated to the light source (9) is part of the flow channel guiding the flow path (7). According to a second embodiment, the receiver (13) is arranged outside the flow path (7). The axis (14) of the receiver extends at least partially parallel in relation to or on the centre line (58) pertaining to the flow path (7). The light trap (23) allocated to the receiver (13) is part of the flow channel guiding the flow path (7).

Abstract: An electronic detonator system includes a control unit, a plurality of electronic detonators and a bus which connects the detonators to the control unit. Each electronic detonator includes a number of flags which may assume either of two possible values, each flag indicating a substate of the respective detonators. The flags are readable from the control unit by means of digital data packets and the control unit is adapted, by means of these flags, to check the state of the electronic detonator and control the operation of the electronic detonator. When reading the flags, the electronic detonators give responses in the form of analog response pulses on the bus. The detonator system also includes a portable message receiver which on the basis of the flags obtains messages regarding the connecting status of a detonator.

L'encre noire contient une dispersion aqueuse de particules polymères vinyliques insolubles dans l'eau comprenant soit un colorant noir soluble dans l'huile, soit du noir de carbone. Les particules polymères vinyliques présentent une ionicité opposée à celle de l'encre de couleur. Le polymère vinylique insoluble dans l'eau est obtenu par copolymérisation (a) d'un monomère contenant un groupe formateur de sel, (b) d'un monomère représenté par la formule (I): CH2=C(R?1)COO(R2O)¿pR3 (dans laquelle R1 représente hydrogène ou alkyle inférieur, R2 représente un groupe hydrocarbure divalent comprenant éventuellement un hétéroatome, R3 représente un groupe hydrocarbure monovalent comprenant éventuellement un hétéroatome, et p est un nombre valant entre 1 et 60), (c) d'un macromère et (d) d'un monomère copolymérisable avec lesdits composés. Le jeu d'encres donne satisfaction non seulement par son pouvoir fixant et sa résistance à l'eau, mais aussi par sa résistance au déteintage et son aptitude à l'apport d'encre. La présente invention est adaptée en tant que jeu d'encres pour l'enregistrement à jet d'encre, car elle produit des caractères imprimés extrêmement clairs.

Abstract: A cleaning device (1) for cleaning a video head and drum of a video recorder and/or playback unit comprises a housing (6) within which a carrier arm (28) is pivotally mounted and carries a cleaning brush (29) and is pivotal from a retracted position (28) within the housing (6) to a treating position with the cleaning brush (29) in cleaning engagement with the drum (2) under the action of a torsion spring (33). A retaining rib (48) extending inwardly from a lid (20) of the housing (6) acts on the cleaning brush (29) for retaining the carrier arm (28) and the cleaning brush (29) in the retracted position. An abutment edge (50) on the carrier arm (28) is positioned so that as the housing (6) is being lowered into a cassette receiving area (5) of the video recorder and/or playback unit, the abutment edge (50) is located behind a tape withdrawal roller (3) prior to the retaining rib (48) disengaging the cleaning brush (29). Accordingly, the carrier arm (28) and the cleaning brush (29) are retained in the retracted position by the tape withdrawal roller (3) until the tape withdrawal roller (3) commences to move outwardly of the cassette receiving area (5), thus preventing any danger of the carrier arm and cleaning brush becoming entangled with the tape withdrawal roller (3) or any other tape withdrawal rollers until the tape withdrawal rollers have moved outwardly of the cassette receiving area (5).

Abstract: A filtering method for digital Phase Lock Loop, comprises: define an ideal phase difference value between an input clock and a local recovery clock; calculate a phase difference between the input clock and the local recovery clock by a subtractor; compare the phase difference with the ideal phase difference value to adjust the local recovery clock in order to keep it phase difference stables in the ideal phase difference value. When adjusting the local recovery clock, taking the ideal phase difference value as a center, the phase difference is divided into different segments. For segment where the ideal phase difference value is located, the local recovery clock follows the phase difference with a minimum changing rate; and for segments farther apart from the ideal phase difference value, the local recovery clock follows the phase difference with a faster changing rate. The invention concerns non-error code and vibration minimization at the same time, so vibration tolerance is better raised, vibration transfer characteristic is very good, and net output vibration indicator at low band and high band parts is improved. <IMAGE>
